Chapter 436: A real treat, birthday gift
"Do genetic sequencing for all the practitioners in Hongshan?"
In the backyard of the nursing home, Team Leader Yang listened to Zheng Fa's request and nodded without hesitation, then asked again: "What is the research direction?"
"The relationship between spiritual roots and genes." Zheng Fa explained, "Everyone has five elements of spiritual roots, it's just a matter of how many there are. If you want to understand the nature of spiritual roots, you have to look at genes in the end."
If we want to reduce the impact of spiritual roots on modern development, we must first understand the nature of spiritual roots.
This task cannot be accomplished in the Xuanwei world, as the microbiology technology in the Xuanwei world is far from reaching this level.
Fortunately, there is no difference in the human structure between the modern world and the Xuanwei world. People in the modern world were unable to practice before, not because they did not have spiritual roots, but because they did not have spiritual energy.
There are many speculations and theories about spiritual roots in the Xuanwei Realm, and there are many mysterious things.
But in Zheng Fa's opinion, since spiritual roots are a natural characteristic that everyone has, they are essentially determined by genes.
Speaking of which, he had previously thought that the matter of spiritual roots was not very urgent. After all, the biggest problem facing the Nine Mountains Realm right now was a lack of resources, not a lack of cultivators.
But the evolution of the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit made him change his mind: the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit can absorb the insights of Zheng Fa's disciples. If he wants to obtain more valuable insights, he naturally has to select some disciples with insight, so that the smart brains will not suffer from garbage spiritual roots.
As for the idea of a temple, it is rather far-fetched, and only after Zheng Fa was able to handle a large number of thoughts, did he dare to truly preach on a large scale in modern times.
But this does not mean that Zheng Fa does not want to preach on a large scale. He just hopes to start after he has certain protective measures in the future - at that time, spiritual roots will be a big obstacle again.
This idea gave Zheng Fa endless imagination, and he secretly saw it as a chance to achieve enlightenment.
Therefore, the greatest value of solving the spiritual root problem lies not in the Nine Mountains Realm, but in modern times.
Team Leader Yang didn't know the use of the Fuso Wood Dao Fruit, but he nodded seriously:
"I'll arrange it."
She suddenly thought of something and said to Zheng Fa, "Come to think of it, the improvements to the Nine Chapters Array are almost complete. It seems that the technical manual has been written."
“So soon?”
Zheng Fa was surprised. Between the Heaven and Earth God Array and the Nine Chapters Array, the Nine Chapters Array was actually the more difficult.
Zheng Fa's only requirement for the Heaven and Earth God Array was to understand it and design a backdoor.
A few days ago, Team Leader Yang brought several plans.
The most feasible solution is actually to stop the operation of the formation. After all, Zheng Fa cannot access the core of the formation now and can only do some peripheral work.
There are also ideas of secretly changing the formation process, or even seizing control of the formation.
The problem is that it is very difficult - Shi Nandang and others are extremely concerned about the Great Array of Gods and Demons of Heaven and Earth, and will even carefully check the spirit stones engraved by Zheng Fa and others. If they want to make large-scale changes to the array, the risk is not small.
Compared with the Great Array of Gods and Demons of Heaven and Earth, the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Array is much more complicated, which is equivalent to starting from rewriting the programming language and then creating an operating system.
So he had a lot of patience before.
"This is just the first version. The artificial intelligence algorithm you mentioned, Dean, is still under discussion," Team Leader Yang explained.
"That speed is beyond my expectations! Team Leader Yang, you gave me a little surprise."
Zheng Fa looked at Team Leader Yang with some admiration.
But Team Leader Yang's eyes were a little vague. She looked aside and said, "It's... it's not my credit either."
"Um?"
Zheng Fa frowned, thinking that she was being too weird.
Team leader Yang felt even more uncomfortable. She stammered, "I...I'm going to arrange the spiritual root project."
After saying that, she ran away quickly without looking back.
Zheng Fa looked at her back, his eyes flashing with deep thought.
night.
Tang Lingwu put down her bowl and said calmly, "I'm going to practice!"
The others watched her walk into the room, and the old man was still sighing: "She hasn't eaten well these past few days."
Teacher Tian nodded slightly.
Zheng Fa said nothing and ate the food in the bowl bit by bit.
Tang Lingwu's room is very large and has many rooms. In addition to a separate meditation room, there are also a bedroom and an office.
The moon was bright outside the window, and Tang Lingwu, who was supposed to be practicing in the quiet room, was now sitting upright on a chair in the office. In the dim office, only the light from the screen shone on her little face, making her look like an internet addict.
The internet-addicted girl's keyboard clattered as she spoke freely in the group chat.
"The technical manual has been reviewed. There are some issues. It would be best if they can be corrected tomorrow."
"Everyone has ideas, discuss them in the forum, and we need to work on artificial intelligence algorithms."
"Forum points? Of course points can be exchanged for money... I have money!"
"What forum?"
She heard a question behind her ear, and responded without thinking: "I created a forum to discuss rune algorithms...ah!"
Tang Lingwu jumped up from the chair, three feet high, literally three feet high.
Zheng Fa stood behind his office chair and looked at her helplessly.
Tang Lingwu quickly landed on the chair, put her knees together, looked up at Zheng Fa, and blinked obediently, as if trying to charm him.
"Show me the forum."
"oh!"
Looking at the forum that was obviously established not long ago but was still full of heated discussions, Zheng Fa finally understood why the Nine Chapters Array was progressing so quickly.
The wealthy woman Tang Lingwu, through forum points, despicably marked various tasks with cash rewards. The faster they were completed, the more money they would get...
Zheng Fa looked at everyone's posting time and found that the major project groups were in a mess. Twenty-four hours a day, there were people arguing and speaking in the forum every minute.
He could also understand that, apart from the temptation of the carrot of cultivating immortals, Tang Lingwu really... gave too much!
"Didn't I tell you to practice well?"
"I... am tired of practicing, I need to change my brain!"
Zheng Fa took a look at her cultivation and found that she was making rapid progress. She was in the middle stage of foundation building and it had stabilized.
Tang Lingwu has only one spiritual root, so her qualifications are not greatly restricted.
After he reached Nascent Soul stage, the concentration of spiritual energy in the nursing home is now more than ten times higher than before.
He also took special care to ensure that Tang Lingwu's room was filled with abundant spiritual energy.
The spiritual environment she enjoyed was even better than that of the average Nine Mountains disciple.
However, the spiritual materials and medicines that can be used are not as good as those in the Nine Mountains Realm.
"Come."
Tang Lingwu thought Zheng Fa was going to blame her, and she looked a little timid, but she still obediently followed Zheng Fa to the quiet room.
"Sit down." Zheng Fa sat cross-legged, asked Tang Lingwu to sit in front of him, and said, "I will tell you about your technique."
Tang Lingwu tilted her head: "Didn't I tell you that?"
"I'll talk to you alone. You wasted your time in cultivation. Of course I have to make it up to you. From now on, I'll talk to you every night."
"Alone?" Tang Lingwu smiled foolishly when she heard this, "Okay!"
Looking at Tang Lingwu, who was so happy that her eyebrows were wide open because of just two words, Zheng Fa couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Xiao Lingwu didn't realize at all that she was enjoying real special treatment, which was far from comparable to what Cheng Yun and the others had - he now regarded the Fusang wood as the Taoist fruit of the Daoist ancestor, and it was not an exaggeration.
This fruit of the Tao allowed Zheng Fa to read the thoughts of those who listened to the Tao.
Although under Zheng Fa's clever manipulation, it was used as a brain-borrowing fruit.
But on the other hand, as long as Zheng Fa is willing to be a teacher, he will be the best teacher throughout history - a teacher who can understand your doubts and even know your level better than you do, is worthy of the title of Taoist Ancestor.
Tang Lingwu may be the first person in the two worlds, besides Zheng Fa, to enjoy the benefits of this fruit.
Early the next morning.
The old white man in the yard was doing morning exercises when he suddenly heard the door open.
When I turned around, I saw Zheng Fa opening Tang Lingwu's door and walking out.
He opened his mouth, looked at Zheng Fa, and stammered: "You...why are you in Xiao Lingwu's room?"
"I preached to her all night."
Old Man Bai listened to this and looked behind Zheng Fa at Tang Lingwu, whose eyes were bright and her face was full of satisfaction. He scratched his head:
"Preaching all night? Oh~"
Looking at the old man, Zheng Fa thought that it was better to herd one sheep than to release two sheep, so he asked, "How about I tell you about it tonight, too?"
The old white man scratched his head so hard that his index finger froze, lightning surged all over his body, and his curly hair stood straight.
"Me? I don't need it!" He silently picked up the clothes on the table beside him, covering his proud muscles, and walked quickly, "Xiaotian! I'm going down the mountain to the capital to see my grandson!"
…
Old Man Bai hurried down the mountain, and Zheng Fa also returned to the Nine Mountains Realm.
He found two jade tubes, engraved two sets of formations that had been researched in modern times into them, and then walked out of the room.
The yard was empty, but there was some laughter in Senior Sister Zhang's yard nearby.
Zheng Fa was curious and walked towards the next yard.
Sister Zhang's courtyard is quite lively today:
I don't know when a chaise longue was placed by the lake. Senior Sister Zhang was leaning on one side, and Uncle Huang was sitting opposite her.
Senior Sister Yuan was pacing around the chaise longue, chattering as if she had a thorn on her butt and couldn't sit down.
What surprised Zheng Fa was that Uncle Huang, who usually had a cold face, had a smile on his face today, and his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting.
Looking at Senior Sister Zhang again, I saw some happiness and excitement in her eyes.
"Junior brother!" As soon as Zheng Fa entered the room, Senior Sister Yuan called out, "Are you here to celebrate my birthday as well?"
birthday?
Zheng Fa stopped walking, his eyes blank.
He really didn't know that today was Senior Sister Zhang's birthday.
It’s been almost ten years since I came to Jiushan Sect, and Senior Sister Zhang has never celebrated her birthday!
He didn't even know when Senior Sister Zhang's birthday was - as a young talent, it was really impolite to ask about Old Niu's birthday.
Senior Sister Zhang looked at him and shook her head slightly, as if she saw his confusion: "I haven't thought about it either. It's Master and Junior Sister."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Of course we have to celebrate!" Senior Sister Yuan shouted, "It would be fine if it was just for fun on any other day, but how can we miss the full day of two Jiaxi years!"
Uncle Huang also nodded, his tone still a little dissatisfied: "If it were you, I would have to invite more people."
Senior Sister Zhang shook her head slightly: "The Nine Mountains Realm is not rich now, and everyone is busy."
At this point, there was some soft light in her eyes. She looked at Zheng Fa and said softly, "You...can come."
Uncle Huang heard the awkwardness in the tone, his face slightly soured, he glanced at Zheng Fa, wanting to say something, but then looked at his own apprentice, shook his head and sighed: "When I first accepted you as my apprentice, you were still naked... I never thought that now, you are already in the Nascent Soul stage, and your temperament has changed to something I don't recognize..."
“Master!”
Senior Sister Zhang’s smile fell, and she felt embarrassed and annoyed.
Zheng Fa thought to himself, he is familiar with naked buttocks! He also understood it.
My young and beautiful Senior Sister Zhang is now 120 years old! Xuanwei attaches great importance to the number of Jiazi, and it is a full year. Uncle Huang and Sister Yuan attach great importance to it, so Senior Sister Zhang held a small party.
Senior Sister Zhang probably saw that he was not aware of the situation, so she just said it was ok for him to come.
Zheng Fa indeed did not prepare any birthday gift, and Senior Sister Zhang also knew the number of spiritual materials he had.
…
"Senior sister! Look!"
Senior Sister Yuan couldn't wait to take out the storage bag, opened the bag, and took out small boxes of food.
"Master, this is for me!" Senior Sister Yuan sipped her saliva, "This is what I have accumulated through the good deeds I have done in the past few months!"
"This is the spiritual fruit that Zheng Fa tricked out of Haori Mountain! It's delicious!"
"This is the elixir from the Qingmu Sect. It's sweet! I spent a lot of effort to exchange it with them!"
"This is spiritual wine. I have spent a lot of good deeds on it..."
Senior Sister Yuan had a look on her face as she sought credit for the work. She introduced the products enthusiastically, and her eyes were reluctant to leave the small boxes. It was obvious that she really liked them.
Zheng Fa knew that Senior Sister Zhang didn't pay much attention to her appetite, but at this moment, Senior Sister Zhang smiled sweetly, looked at the small boxes, and nodded repeatedly.
After all, these foods were saved up bit by bit by Yuan Xiaoniao.
For Yuan Xiaoniao, who is extremely greedy and whose joy in life is eating and drinking, being able to save so many delicious foods to give to Senior Sister Zhang... is truly 100% sincere.
Senior Sister Zhang understood the kindness in her heart. She not only accepted the food with a smile, but also opened each box carefully, tasting each one and praising them for being delicious.
Yuan Xiaoniao was so coaxed that his tail was almost lifted up.
After Yuan Xiaoniao finished showing off, Uncle Huang's hand flashed with a rainbow light and he took out a jade box that was two fingers long.
"Take a look, do you like it?"
Senior Sister Zhang took the jade box, opened the lid, and a necklace lay inside.
She took out the necklace and spread it in front of her chest, and a golden phoenix spread its wings and flew. What was even more bizarre was that the phoenix's eyeballs were actually two black and white gems, and it really looked like a living being.
"Master?"
"I'll put it on for you." Uncle Huang reached out and took the necklace from Sister Zhang, put it on her neck himself, looked at it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction, "It looks good!"
"This... is a magic weapon?"
Senior Sister Zhang looked down at her necklace and suddenly asked.
"Luckily, there is Madam Xuanhua, who can transform spiritual materials, otherwise this necklace cannot be made..."
It seems that Uncle Huang asked Madam Xuanhua to make this necklace.
"Master, this is too precious."
Zheng Fa understood what Senior Sister Zhang was thinking - Senior Uncle Huang was disheartened back then, so naturally he had no desire for money. Among the three Supremes of the Jiushan Sect, he was considered poor.
To create a magic weapon, even if Madam Xuanhua only wants the cost price, it may be a huge burden for her.
"Is my disciple's life more valuable?" Uncle Huang snorted coldly, "What kind of enemies did you face before? What kind of enemies will you face in the future? How many times can you use the Qingjing Bamboo?"
“…”
Uncle Huang, who usually keeps quiet, is now chattering, "Every time I see you rushing forward with the Pure Tranquility Bamboo, I get anxious!"
"This necklace can speed up the recovery of your mana and soul, and it also has a certain degree of protective power. Xuanhua said that this necklace is the best work she has ever done in her life! She is even confident that it can block a blow from the God of Transformation!"
It sounds like Master Huang really put his heart into it.
Senior Sister Zhang holds the Qingjing Bamboo, and her combat power is almost as strong as that of Daoguo, but the problem is that the Qingjing Bamboo is an external force after all.
Compared to the Fusang wood and Zheng Faben, Senior Sister Zhang is not as close to Qingjing Bamboo. When she uses Qingjing Bamboo, there are two major problems:
The first is that it will be gone in two or three hits, and using it too much will cause serious injuries.
The second one is even more fatal: her own cultivation is too low. If someone seizes the opportunity and takes her life, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although this necklace is just a magic weapon, it is indeed very suitable for Senior Sister Zhang.
It can be seen that Uncle Huang has had this worry and thought for a long time.
Senior Sister Zhang reached out and pinched the golden phoenix. She was about to say something, but Senior Uncle Huang's eyes turned stern and he said, "Put it on!"
“…”
Seeing that she no longer wanted to refuse, Master Huang smiled again and said gently: "If you take this with you when you go out, I will feel more at ease. Don't be like your master..."
She stopped talking here and laughed, "Why would I say this day is unlucky... Speaking of which, when it was my birthday, your master would prepare a birthday gift..."
"At that time, the Jiushan Sect was even poorer than it is now, our cultivation was low, and our things were not valuable."
"But I remember all of it..."
When Senior Sister Yuan heard this, she blinked and looked at Zheng Fa.
Uncle Huang also looked at Zheng Fa, with a look like a mother-in-law testing her son-in-law.
Oh no, they're coming for him! Senior Sister Zhang glanced at the master and said helplessly, "Junior brother, he actually..."
Uncle Huang's expression changed slightly, but when he looked at his beloved disciple who was about to tell a lie with his eyes wide open, the cold snort turned into a sigh.
"Senior Sister!" Zheng Fa's mind moved, and he took out the jade tube engraved with the Nine Chapters of Calculation Formation, and said loudly: "This is my birthday gift..."
To be honest, the main credit for this jade tube was, of course, Zheng Fa's idea... But special thanks should be given to the contractor Tang Lingwu, because Hongshan Speed solved his problem!
Senior Sister Zhang was also stunned. She took the jade tube with a look of surprise on her face and asked, "What's in it?"
"Senior Sister, do you still remember the calculation array you thought of before?"
"Um."
"Here is the improved calculation array."
Senior Sister Zhang's eyes suddenly brightened, and her consciousness immersed in the jade tube. When she saw the title in the jade tube, she whispered with doubt: "Nine Chapters Array Technical Manual?"
After saying this, she no longer cared about anyone else and just immersed her mind in the jade tube.
Uncle Huang looked at her, then at Zheng Fa, and shook his head slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied with this gift...
Zheng Fa knew what Uncle Huang was thinking. After all, this thing sounded like just a formation.
The formation is naturally powerful, but it has always been used to enhance the strength of the sect.
But it is hard to say how much effect it has on Senior Sister Zhang personally.
It’s understandable that Uncle Huang, who completely cares about Sister Zhang, is not very satisfied...
What Zheng Fa didn't expect was that Uncle Huang nodded at him again.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Uncle Huang curled his lips and said, "A thing you love is more valuable than gold. No matter how many spirit stones this jade tube is worth, as long as Wuyi likes it, what can I say?"
"Just remember how much she loved you."
Just as Uncle Huang was speaking, spiritual energy suddenly surged from Sister Zhang's body, and a five-colored glow swirled above her head, shooting from the courtyard into the sky.
The mist above Wanxian Island was dyed colorful by the glow of the sunset glow, looking magnificent and magnificent, like a paradise.
Uncle Huang's neck stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at Zheng Fa, his lips trembling a little: "Wu Yi... has he attained enlightenment?"
Zheng Fa nodded silently.
Uncle Huang lowered his head and looked at the jade tube in Sister Zhang's hand, with a hint of awe in his eyes.
